Recommendations for bourbon in Europe?

Hello all-

My brother is in Germany for school but coming back around Christmas. I've already asked him to bring me a bottle of the Europe only Four Roses single barrel 86 proof. What else should I make this mofo fetch for me?

Makers Mark black was Japan release only, and they stopped making it a couple of years ago.
From the side of the bottle:
Our 95 proof Maker's Mark Select reflects my own individual preference in the Maker's Mark style. While I'd never alter the soft, clean and gentle taste Dad achieved with his original creation of Maker's Mark, my tastes have always leaned towards a slightly more robust, more full-flavored whiskey - a perfect compliment to our 90 proof red wax Maker's Mark. I hope you enjoy Maker's Mark Select as much as I do.

Germany did, however, have the Gold wax 101 proof. Something that may still be found there somewhere, long out of production.
Both of them are much deeper in color than red wax.
I just purchased a 2nd bottle of each and can't wait to try them.
Bill is supposed to be coming to Australia soon, maybe I will be able to enjoy some with him!

OK, I see. It seems to be a UK release.

Please note, though, that despite the existence of the European Union, Europe is still mostly a geographical denomination. A whiskey available in Sweden wonīt necessarily be found on the shelves in Belgium. I have, for instance, never seen JTS Brown in Germany on which the starter of the thread based his question.
